Can’t Help Falling in Love
Words and Music by Hugo Peretti, Luigi Creatore, and George David Weiss

Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help
Falling in love with you

Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help
Falling in love with you?

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help
Falling in love with you

Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

Take my hand
Take my whole life, too
For I can't help
Falling in love with you

For I can't help
Falling in love with you

Let It Be
Words and music by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom… Let it be.

And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom…Let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom…Let it be.

And when the broken-hearted people
Living in the world agree
There will be an answer…Let it be.

For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer…Let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer….Let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom…Let it be.

INTERLUDE

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom…Let it be.

And when the night is cloudy
There is still a light that shines on me
Shine until tomorrow…Let it be.

I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom…Let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer…Let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
There will be an answer…Let it be.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom…Let it be...

You Are My Sunshine
Words and music by Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take
My sunshine away

The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you
In my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and cried

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take
My sunshine away

Take Me Home, Country Roads
Words and Music by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert and John Denver

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains
Shenandoah River –
Life is old there
Older than the trees
Younger than the mountains
Growin’ like a breeze

Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gathered round her
Miners lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine
Teardrops in my eye

Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice
In the mornin’ hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin’ down the road I get a feelin’
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

Country Roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma
Take me home, country roads

Take me home, now country roads
Take me home, now country roads
